Therapists in Harris County, TX

I see adults over 23 and specialize in trauma, addictions, grief work, group, life transitions, depression, anxiety, and LGBTQ+.

I am a Board-Certified Art Therapist, Certified Group Psychotherapist and a Certified Brainspotting therapist.

I celebrate all of my clients’ unique identities and encourage them to find pride in themselves.

I am dedicated to working with individual adults of all ages who are struggling with depression, stress, anxiety, and grief, among many other life challenges. By exploring and processing thoughts, feelings and behaviors together, we can work to promote change and enhance your quality of life. I have a special interest in working with adults navigating major life stage transitions, such as with chronic illness and changes that come with aging. I address these concerns, which can include anxiety, grief, dementia, end-of-life issues, and caregiving, in ways that embody compassion, dignity, and respect.

The world can be a tough place for neurodivergent folks. ADHD, autism, chronic illness, trauma, disability and mental health struggles can sometimes make meeting your own basic, everyday needs feel exhausting. Keeping up with the responsibilities and demands of life might leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, ashamed, lonely or embarrassed. Other people don't seem to understand why it's so hard for you and sometimes neither do you! You have so many strengths, but it feels like they're buried under layers of self-doubt, frustration and burnout. You're not broken. Your needs are different. You deserve support. We SO get it.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the weight of past traumas, struggling to find a way forward? It's not easy to carry the scars of the past, but I want you to know that healing is possible, and you don't have to do it alone. In addition to specializing in trauma, I have a passion for helping those with anxiety, life changes, relationship problems, cycle breaking, depression, & perinatal issues.

Hi! My name is Margarita Yuri Medina, Ph.D. (c), LPC-S. My approach is humanistic. CBT, DBT, ACT, Play Therapy, and Art Therapy are used in all counseling and psychology schools. Focus areas of practice are mood disorders, ADHD, relationship issues, adjustment disorders, anger management, parenting, abuse, and trauma. The age range is from 5 to mature adults. Clients that work with me usually want to see some change in their life or in their children's lives. The conditions that I treat are mood disorders, ADHD, relationship issues, adjustment disorders, anger management, parenting, abuse, and trauma.

Sometimes, life can feel hopeless or overwhelming. Sometimes, we find that the coping tools we have relied on are no longer working to manage the altered reality around us. Sometimes, we all need help, and reaching out is the first step. My approach to therapy is client-centered and eclectic, but I believe in focusing on individual strengths and finding solutions-focused methods to address individual problems. With experience living and working in diverse societies, I seek to understand your unique cultural perspectives and values. I use cognitive and behavioral approaches, but I am open to adjusting my techniques.

Let's face it. You've tried therapy before. It wasn't for you, and truly people don't understand you anyway. What would happen if you tried it one more time? Maybe you're wondering what life would look like if you started learning coping skills and began healing. Life can be challenging, and you don't have to venture through it alone. We can navigate through this together. As your therapist, I commit to supporting you on this adventure and beyond!

Couples Coaching involves altering relationship dynamics by improving communication & building/healing trust, decreasing conflict, teaching how to provide support/ responsiveness, emotional intimacy & sexual satisfaction. Individual Coaching is supportive, non-judgmental, & goal oriented. We will find new strategies to overcome life barriers, & develop new skills to attain your goals. I want to empower you to take control of your life, & teach you how to contribute to your own happiness. I focus on changing ineffective beliefs and behaviors that contribute to current problems, & foster more adaptive, flexible, & efficient solutions.

I imagine if you're here, it's because you're hurting. Things aren't going the way you want them to: Maybe your marriage or relationship isn't bringing you the joy it used to, or maybe it's driving you downright nuts. Maybe you aren't speaking to your kids, or maybe you are the kid or teen that just can't seem to get along with your parents or the people around you. Maybe things have gotten so bad that you've contemplated hurting yourself or suicide. Perhaps you're grieving a loss, a person, a job, a relationship. Or maybe you've tried to figure out why you're not as happy as you could be and you just can't.

Morning hits you like a bag of bricks - trying to remember if you slept at all. The rumblings of fear in your chest and nausea in your stomach started several weeks ago. You put them on the back burner hoping they would go away and things would get better, but now the anxiety is turning into moments of panic and depression. Worries about your family, your health, being able to provide...the anticipation of what will come all play in the back of your mind. The more you try to hold it all together, the worse it gets. The loss of a world as you know it and fearful anticipation leave you feeling shut down, isolated, and powerless.

Over the years in my work as a therapist, I have found that every persons choices and actions make sense within the context of their lives. I utilize a trauma informed, attachment and psychobiological approach to help client's understand themselves, understand others, and actively experience being understood and seen. I believe sessions need to translate to my client's lives and offer them the skills and support to make change in their lives. My role is as a collaborator assisting clients in experiencing safety and empowerment. I look forward to working with you.

Seeking out help can be hard. But it’s a brave first step in working with issues that hold us back on our journey of healing and self discovery. I work with clients that find themselves feeling stuck or dissatisfied in various aspects of their lives, be it relationships, family dynamics, or careers. I also specialize in adolescents (and their families) who struggle with self worth and discovering who they are in the midst of a challenging stage of life. I believe in the importance of understanding how our past experiences and family dynamics shape who we are as unique individuals.
